Article Abstract

We theoretically investigate optical dispersion in twisted anisotropic materials, that is, when the optic axis undergoes a periodic modulation along the propagation axis while staying normal in the propagation direction. In the case of transversely homogeneous geometries, we show that both group velocity and group velocity dispersion can be largely tuned both in magnitude and sign by changing the medium anisotropy, the maximum rotation angle, the modulation period, and the input polarization. In doing that, we demonstrate to our knowledge a new type of optical spin-Hall effect occurring in the temporal domain. Our results introduce a new way to control the temporal profile of ultrashort pulses, automatically encompassing a structured polarization in time.

We investigate the quasiparticles of a single nodal ring semimetal SrAs_{3} through axis-resolved magneto-optical measurements. We observe three types of Landau levels scaling as ϵ∼sqrt[B], ϵ∼B^{2/3}, and ϵ∼B that correspond to Dirac, semi-Dirac, and classical fermions, respectively. Through theoretical analysis, we identify the distinct origins of these three types of fermions present within the nodal ring.

The photonic flat band, defined by minimal dispersion and near-zero group velocity, has facilitated significant advances in optical technologies. The practical applications of flat bands, such as enhanced light-matter interactions, require efficient coupling to far-field radiation. However, achieving controlled coupling between flat bands and their corresponding localized modes with far-field radiation remains challenging and elusive.

We develop an ab initio framework that captures the impact of electron-electron and electron-hole interactions on phonon properties. This enables the inclusion of excitonic effects in the optical phonon dispersions and lifetimes of graphene, both near the center (Γ) and at the border (K) of the Brillouin zone, at phonon-momenta relevant for Raman scattering and for the onset of the intrinsic electrical resistivity. Near K, we find a phonon redshift of ∼150  cm^{-1} and a 10× enhancement of the group velocity, together with a 5× increase in linewidths due to a 26× increase of the electron-phonon matrix elements.

Lithium metavanadate (LiVO) is a material of growing interest due to its monoclinic 2/ structure, which supports efficient lithium-ion diffusion through one-dimensional channels. This study presents a detailed structural, electrical, and dielectric characterization of LiVO synthesized a solid-state reaction, employing X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and impedance/dielectric spectroscopy across a temperature range of 473-673 K and frequency range of 10 Hz to 1 MHz. XRD and Rietveld refinement confirmed high crystallinity and single-phase purity with lattice parameters = 10.
